Campus Health Care Services (CHS) is designed to provide limited services for acute illnesses, treatments and medications during regular hours of operation for currently enrolled students. Students should come in, check in at the desk and be seated until called. Appointments are encouraged, but walk-ins are welcome. On the first visit, all students will receive a copy of the current HIPPA policy and will need to sign a statement of receipt of the HIPPA policy.

Services provided include administration of MMR, Tetanus, Hepatitis B immunizations, Influenza vaccines and PPD test, evaluation and treatment of illnesses, and, if necessary, referrals to off-campus resources for medical problems.

Campus Health Care Services is currently staffed by a Family Nurse Practitioner, one Registered Nurse, and an Administrative Assistant, all supported by underwritten protocols of a physician consultant. A physician is on site for ½ day per week for visits and consultations if necessary by appointment.

EMERGENCY

In the event of a serious illness or accident when the clinic is closed, the student should report to the nearest Urgent Care Facility or Emergency room for immediate treatment. The student must make contact with CHCS within 48 hours to obtain an Emergency Referral, only if using Pearce and Pearce student insurance. The Mercer Police must be notified of any injury occurring on campus. They may be reached at 678-547-6358 or by using a Mercer phone and dialing 6911. Someone should stay with the injured person until the Mercer Police arrive.

PAYMENT

Payment for services not covered by insurance, such as lab tests or medications, is the responsibility of the student. Students enrolled at the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences are required to maintain health insurance coverage while enrolled.
